Structural basis of SIRT7 nucleosome engagement and substrate specificity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsChromatin-modifying enzymes target distinct residues within histones to finetune gene expression profiles. SIRT7 is an NAD+-dependent deacylase often deregulated in cancer, which deacetylates either H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) or H3K18 with high specificity ...

Discovery and substrate specificity engineering of nucleotide halogenases [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsC2′-halogenation has been recognized as an essential modification to enhance the drug-like properties of nucleotide analogs. The direct C2ʹ-halogenation of the nucleotide 2′-deoxyadenosine-5′-monophosphate (dAMP) has recently been achieved using the Fe ...

Structural Analysis and Substrate Specificity of D-Carbamoylase from Pseudomonas [PDF]
BioTechThe synthesis of enantiomeric forms of D-amino acids can be achieved by a two-step “hydantoinase process” based on the sequential catalysis of substrates by specific enzymes, D-carbamoylase and D-hydantoinase. Here, we describe the structural features of

Substrate Specificity of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp10-Nsp16 Methyltransferase
Viruses, 2021 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic exemplifies the general need to better understand viral infections. The positive single-strand RNA genome of its causative agent, the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), encodes all viral enzymes.

Tocopherol Cyclases-Substrate Specificity and Phylogenetic Relations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In the present studies, we focused on substrate specificity of tocopherol cyclase, the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the tocopherols and plastochromanol-8, the main plant lipid antioxidants, with special emphasis on the preference for tocopherols and

Substrate specificity of prostate-specific membrane antigen [PDF]
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2007 A series of putative dipeptide substrates of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was prepared that explored alpha- and beta/gamma-linked acidic residues at the P1 position and various chromophores at the P2 position, while keeping the P1' residue constant as L-Glu.

Substrate Specificity of Biofilms Proximate to Historic Shipwrecks
Microorganisms, 2023 The number of built structures on the seabed, such as shipwrecks, energy platforms, and pipelines, is increasing in coastal and offshore regions. These structures, typically composed of steel or wood, are substrates for microbial attachment and biofilm ...
